how to connect to an USB disk drive...

[Net Llama!]

Define "disk drive".  That can mean floppy, hard, CD, or tape drives. 
Also, what brand/model is it?  Is it supported under Linux?  Did you load 
the appropriate modules to support it?  Did it ever work before under 
Linux?  Did you mount the filesystem on the drive?  Is there even a 
filesystem at all on the media in the drive?
